You’ve got a nice little bass arsenal there — three rods that can cover a lot of water if matched to the right jobs 🎣
Since you didn’t list the reel model(s), I can’t do a perfect reel-by-reel matchup yet, but I can tell you how I’d assign each rod by length, power, and likely action.
Best-use pairing by rod
1) Duckett Ghost XL DFGX70M-CC
This looks like your 7'0" Medium rod, likely best as a finesse / moving-bait spinning or lighter casting setup depending on the reel seat and your preferred reel type.
Best techniques:
- Wacky rigs
- Ned rigs
- Shaky heads
- Drop shots
- Small Texas rigs
- Light jerkbaits if you like a more moderate rod for trebles
Why: A medium rod is usually the best “feel everything, don’t overpower the bait” tool. If this rod is crisp and not too tip-heavy, it’s your clean-water, pressure-day rod.
2) Duckett Ghost DFGG76M
A 7'6" Medium is a super versatile distance and control stick.
Best techniques:
- Carolina rigs
- Shaky heads
- Light football jigs
- Jerkbaits
- Soft plastics around grass edges
- Spinnerbaits / bladed jigs with open-water targets
Why: The extra length helps with casting distance, line control, and hookset sweep. This is often a sneaky-good rod for techniques where you want long casts and better leverage.
3) Duckett Ghost DFGG73MH-C
This is your 7'3" Medium-Heavy Casting rod — probably the most “workhorse” of the bunch.
Best techniques:
- Texas rigs
- Jigs
- Carolina rigs
- Spinnerbaits
- Chatterbaits
- Buzzbaits
- Smaller frogs or light cover to moderate cover work
Why: Mid-spring bass often relate to cover, edges, and transition areas, and a MH casting rod is ideal for power fishing while still keeping enough versatility for plastics and reaction baits.
If you’re choosing reel types
A simple rule:
- Casting reels → best on the 73MH and often the 76M if you’re throwing moving baits, jigs, or rigs with braid/fluoro
- Spinning reels → best on the 70M if you want finesse presentations
My “most efficient” setup order
If I were building this out for mid-spring bass, I’d prioritize:
- 73MH-C = Texas rig / jig / chatterbait workhorse
- 70M = finesse spinning or lighter open-water bait rod
- 76M = longer-cast utility rod for moving baits and rigs
Reel size suggestions
If you tell me the reel model(s), I can map them exactly, but generally:
- Spinning: 2500–3000 size for the 70M
- Casting: 7.1:1-ish for the 73MH-C as the most versatile option
- Casting: 6.8:1–7.3:1 for the 76M, depending on whether you lean toward moving baits or bottom contact
If you want, send the exact reel model(s) and I’ll give you a clean rod-to-reel pairing chart with line, lure weight, and technique recommendations for each combo. You’re already pretty close to a very well-rounded bass lineup — now let’s fine-tune it and make those rods earn their keep 😄
